At the table declarer rose again with a high club in dummy, crossed to hand with diamondQ and led spadeK. When South played low without a flicker East decided that North had indeed ducked with spadeA. That being the case, it was obvious he didn't have heartQ! Declarer ruffed the spade, returned toheartK and pushed heartJ through South, taking the trick when North showed out. Declarer ruffed the last spade in dummy, cashed heartA, crossed back to diamondA and cashed heartK to squeeze North in the minors. +980 - a great result.
